Of Pigeons and Starlings

Good grief, all I am getting in these days are pigeons and starlings. Oh, yeah, and squirrels. I have figured out how to best use my birdcam but where are all my "good" birds???
I guess the bright side is that I am ready to capture them in photos if they ever show up. I'm thinking of letting the suet run out so as to discourage the starlings and getting some "hot meats" (seeds with chili oil) to discourage the squirrels. It worked before. Maybe then my chickadees, bushtits, northern flickers, and grosbeaks will return.

STARling WARS

Another day with the BirdCam and another 95 photos of....yep, you guessed it, European Starlings! I did capture one that is pretty cute though; a couple of young birds demanding to be fed. I had a chickadee come in a few times but it was too fast for the BirdCam to catch it! Maybe next time...

Hungry Baby

I was looking out my patio window when this little guy (or girl) landed on my fence right by the window and started squawking for mama to come and bring it some grub. I hate to admit it, (shh, don't tell anyone) but even baby Starlings are cute. Not so much when they grow up.

By the way, this photo is not cropped.
